Today's Horoscope

MOON ALERT We have the all clear today to shop and make important decisions until 8:15 p.m. The moon is in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might feel really sympathetic to someone today. In fact, if you can give them something or help them with the shared resources of others, you will. (Basically, Aries is a generous sign.) In your personal life, sex can be transcendently sweet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Relations with partners and close friends will be gentle and easy-going today because people feel mutually sympathetic. There's an easy understanding between people today based on an appreciation of what the other person is going through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

If you can help co-workers today, you will. That's because the whole world is feeling an increased element of sympathy for each other. Little acts of kindness might catch you off guard but they really make your day, don't they?

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a highly creative day for you! Those of you who work in the arts or the film industry or in anything related to sports and working with children will be delighted with your ability to be creative because your mind is soaring with ideas! (Your Muse is whispering in your ear.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You feel kindly toward family members today. You want to do anything you can to help make the lives of others easier, especially if you're concerned about someone. Privately, you want to indulge your sense of luxury and leisure at home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your Spidey sense is heightened today, which is why you might feel you can read other people's minds. By all means, trust your intuition, especially with siblings and relatives. Writers will be especially creative and imaginative today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your taste for luxury and elegance is heightened today, so do be careful when you're shopping. Likewise, your heightened sense of sympathy for others might tempt you to give away the farm. (True generosity is giving what is needed.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your inner idealism is aroused today. You might find yourself interested in mystical or touchy-feely subjects. When dealing with others, you will likely give in to their demands or put your own needs second. (Don't be a doormat.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Spiritual subjects will definitely pique your interest today. You might want to go off by yourself to meditate or contemplate the profundity of the universe. (Or at least, how you could rent a cheap condo on a beach in Maui.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be involved with a nonprofit group or a charitable organization whose mandate is to better the lives of those who are less fortunate today. If you can do this, it will please you. You might idealize a friend today or put someone on a pedestal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because you feel unusually easy-going today, you might let someone in a position of authority talk you into doing something you don't really want to do. Don't be a fool. After all, you have rights and needs, too. Some of you might develop a crush on your boss or an authority figure. (People in uniform are always intriguing.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might spend some time daydreaming about how you could travel to a far-away, distant place that is exotic and the sunsets are beautiful and the breeze off the water is warm. Ah yes, the good life. Something luxurious and comfortable that's away from all this.
